R.I.P.

Tony Curtis - to my way of thinking never really got the respect he deserved.  Perhaps because he was seen as simply a "pretty boy" (which he most certainly was) his talent as an actor tended to be rather overlooked.  But his range was immense and he was one of those rare actors who never turned in a bad performance (OK, so he took some time to lose his Bronx accent - everybody remembers "Yonder is de castle of my fadder" but even then his acting was good).  Best thing he ever did?  Has to be "Some Like It Hot" - a perfect film in every way.  And, thank goodness, film stars never really die because we can always slip a DVD into the player and then they live again on screen.
